You stand tall, kind of 

Like a golden sunflower. 

Your eyes are like deep 

Pools of honey… they hold

So many secrets and power. 


The stretch marks along 

Your sides look like tiger

Stripes. My heart catches 

Fire and your the match that

Ignites. 


You're so at peace it like 

You have the world wrapped 

In a blunt. But at the same

Time your fighting demons

You just put up a good front.


The confidence you have in 

Yourself is unreal. But 

Sometimes you get lost and 

Skip out on meals. 


The sound of your voice 

Sounds like waves crashing

On the beach. Have an "it is

what it is” mentality is what

You always preach. 


The hidden scars within are 

What makes you so strong. Even

Though everyone who comes in 

Your life does you wrong. 

Your lips are like a sweet 

Piece of watermelon on a hot

Summer day. I was lost but i 

Found my way… but i’m glad i

got lost because without it i

wouldn't be who i am today .

So this piece was actually a love poem to myself like the whole time i was talking to myself because self love is so much more imporant then real love.
